Previous mining activity known or suspected

Parts of the site have previously been worked as opencast mines for the winning of minerals. However, we do not anticipate that this will constrain the future of the development site, subject to the appropriate foundations solutions being employed.

The site is currently used for grazing livestock and grass-cropping. Our client does not have survey results at present, however given the site’s historic use as an opencast mine the soil has minimal depth. Therefore, it is expected that the site will be either 3 or 4 in agricultural land classification terms. This can be confirmed in due course.

We consider that this site has the potential to deliver a residential-led sustainable urban extension to Great Wyrley to accommodate some of the required growth from the Black Country authorities in the neighbouring Green Belt. Whilst the site is located in the adjoining District of South Staffordshire, Great Wyrley has excellent links to the Black Country Strategic Centre of Walsall via road (A34) and the Chase Railway Line (Landywood Station) which is soon to be electrified with an improved service.
